Well, i have a practical assessment for biology coming up
and i don't know how to study for it.

I really don't get the point of pracs..
cause you can't really study without having the apparatus in your hands when its all at school.

The "Specific Skills" i need to know for my prac exam are:
- Testing for the presence of particular presence of particular chemicals in biological tissues.
- The identification of cellular organelles
-Making observations and drawing conclusions about biological concepts.
- Analysis of experimental results and making conclusions

so what do i study on? and how can i effectively take in the information?

I really dont want to do badly in this... i've done 2 assesment tasks for maths and chem and i didnt do so well..besides drama, biology is coming up and i really want to do well. =]

do you know which pracs your teacher might test you on? if you know which pracs he/she will test you on you can use those pracs as a starting point - they cant test you on a prac you've never done so dont worry, whatever is tested you will have done in class. Just revise the pracs and you'll be ok.

Word of warning: the prac may not be exactly the same as what you did in class - so make sure you covered everything like what reliability is, what validity/accuracy is etc. also for the discussion, remember to talk about the implicataions this prac has on biology as well as linking it to your hypothesis etc.

Haha, yeah you're right cause on the assessment task sheet it says related prac work, not the prac we've done in class.

So yeah thanks again! =]
